On Wednesday, February 14, 2024, at 6:36 p.m., deputies from the Perris Station Traffic Team responded to a report of a major injury collision near the intersection of W. 3rd Street and S. C Street, Perris. Deputies arrived within minutes and located a juvenile near the roadway suffering from major injuries. The juvenile was transported to the hospital by ambulance in critical condition. The vehicle involved in the collision fled prior to the deputies arriving on scene.

The truck was last witnessed in the area of W. 4th Street and S. A Street. Witnesses and bystanders at the scene assisted the juvenile and called emergency services.
